Abstract:We consider the problem of defining the effect of an intervention on a timevarying risk factor or treatment for a disease or a physiological marker; we develop here the latter case. So, the system considered is (Y, A, C), where Y = (Yt), is the marker process of interest, A = At the treatment (assumed to take values 0 or 1) and C a potential confounding factor. The marker process Y has a Doob-Meyer decomposition dYt = λtdt + dMt, where the intensity of the process Y , λt is a function of the past history of th… Show more
